as early as April 1 or little before if we are allowed to
make substitutions or back order whatever is not ready.

Carnation plants are shipped in plant band through-
out entire year.

ORDERS FILLED. All orders will receive our special
attention. Though we endeavor to fill orders on or near
the date specifed on the “Order Sheet,’ we always ap-
preciate early orders giving us a great amount of leeway
regarding time of shipment. In case the stock of a certain
variety is exhausted, we will substitute varieties as good
or better without additional cost unless an order is
marked “NO SUBSTITUTION.”

SHIPPING INFORMATION. Shipping instructions
should be indicated on all orders. Rooted Chrysanthe-
mum cuttings are shipped via Parcel Post, Air Parcel

TIONS BEYOND THE POSTAL ZONE NUMBER 4.
Parcels shipped to non-airport cities will be forwarded
by surface transportation from nearest airport city.

either in plants at time of shipment or later in stamps or

urban communities where this service is available, we
stress usage of this, as it would greatly expedite deliv-
ery. The rate is 25c up to 2 lbs., 35c to 51 lbs., and 45c to
70 lbs., which must be added to the basic postage.

SHIPMENT OF BANDED PLANTS. As previously
mentioned, all carnation plants are banded. Each banded
plant is computed at 12 ounces. For this reason, Express
service is preferred for shipment of over 15 Carnation
plants and banded Chrysanthemums. Carrier charges for
Express shipments are sent collect.

Sunnyslope Presents the Following
Introductions for 1931

ANNE

ANNE. (S 49-2). Purest white spidery flower in the
larger size tabulated petal class. In full bloom by Octo-
ber 1. As if to herald the prelude of our famous Annual
Chrysanthemum Show, this new flower stood out majes-
tically on the opening day last fall. Being extremely full
centered, it appeared to develop layer upon layer of
petals almost without end. The ultimate product was a
magnificently large and beautiful flower whose grace-
fulness is beyond description. Height about 3 feet. Price:
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration is above.)

AUTUMN PARADE. (S 49-9). Most fascinating flower
composed of two distinct forms of petals. Approximately
one-half of the flower, which is the outer part, consists
of the conventional long, tabulated petals with fishhooks
while the remaining central part is completed with spoon
petals of variable sizes, some of which appear almost
feathery in their formation. Color is deep bronze through-
out the flower with spoon openings of bright red. Height
about 4 feet. Normal date of maturity about October 15.
Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Color illustration
page 4.)

CENTENNIAL. (S 49-18). A true spidery type of
golden bronze. Has slender, long tabulated petals with
spoon openings tipped with fishhooks. Has superb lasting
quality resulting from exceedingly full centered char-
acter of this flower. Height, 4 feet. October 22. Price:
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Color illustration page 5.)

DELIGHT. (49-5). This most intriguing variety of
thin threadlike petalled spidery flower is creamy white
with pointed tips of green. Flower that is unique in ap-
pearance and outstanding in character—one that will be
remembered long after the blooming season is over.
Height, medium. In full bloom October 15. Price: $1.00
each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration below.)

EL MONTE. A new chrysanthemum of dwarf nature
which is ideal for pot culture. Selection of this name
was made by the El] Monte Womens’ Club members dur-
ing their visit to our Gardens. The color is a beautiful
terra-cotta red bordering to a rich golden bronze. Pro-
duces 8 to 12 six-inch diameter semi-incurved blooms
when disbudded. November 10. Price: 50 cents each,
$5.00 per dozen.

LYRIC. (S-49-8). “A deep orchid pink Rayonante’” is
the best description of this beautiful flower. The medium
size cord-like petals extend outward from a full center.

Has glossy dark green foliage. Height medium. October
15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration

page 4.)

RONDO. (49-2). A snow white decorative flower.
Petals are flat and feathery. Should be disbudded in a
bush but not as large as mums. Height medium. In full
bloom by October 15. Price: 50 cents each, $5.00 per
dozen. (See illustration page 4.)

DELIGHT

AUTUMN PARADE

SUNNYSLOPE SPLENDOR. (49-1). It is generally
theorized that the ratio of obtaining outstanding va-
rieties from chrysanthemum seeds is 6 to every 10,000
and we would unhesitatingly place this variety at the
top of the selected six. It is a glistening white full cen-
tered flower with a light overcast of green throughout
but deeper at the center. Composed of spoon petals
cupped slightly inward at the tip. Perfectly formed, we
have not noticed a single deformed flower in our trial
ground where 4 to 6 blooms were grown to a plant, all
measuring eight inches in diameter. We believe this va-
riety will rule supreme both as exhibition and as com-

SUNNYSLOPE SPLENDOR

mercial cut flowers for many years to come in this class.
Fully matured by October 10-15. Height 5 feet. Price:
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustration above.)

YELLOW FRILL. (49-3). Semi-double spidery flower
in clear yellow. Petals are long and tightly curled at the
tip. The large button appearing at maturity only accen-
tuates the beauty of this flower all the more. Height tall.
October 15. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. (Illustra-
tion page 5.)

Spidery (Fuji Mum) Threadlike Varieties

Varieties listed in this group, which are sometimes referred to as “Fuji” Mums by the commercial grow-
ers, have quilled petals of varying sizes, some of which are long and cord-like, while a great majority have
opening of spoon shape at the tip, either fishhooked or plain. These petals either spring out horizontally or
droop. Many of these flowers may be eccentric in form, but they are all very graceful. Descriptions were
taken from flowers which were disbudded to one bloom per stem with four to six flowers to a plant. The

terminal buds were preferred.

inantly a creamy white throughout but is also suffused

Large Flowering Commercial Varieties

In answer to many queries sent in each year requesting differentiation of Commercial and Exhibition
large flowering varieties, we admit that there is only a slight difference between the two types. Many varieties
in the commercial listing are Exhibition flowers and many Exhibition varieties are also good Commercial
flowers. The reason for this segregation is that the Commercial Large Flowering varieties must have these
specific qualifications: (a) good substance—a flower that will pack well and keep well after being cut; (b)
stiff stem—a stem that will support the flower erect when arranged; (¢) good foliage—foliage that is healthy
and clean; (d) proven satisfactory by a period of actual marketing.

Chrysanthemums Can Be

Grown Anywhere

BEAUTIFUL CHRYSANTHEMUMS are grown
throughout the world. You, too, can have these
Chrysanthemums in your garden, regardless of

bitions Pompons, as well as the exotic S pidery types.
Blooms of some of the Spidery varieties even
stand the freezing weather with little protection.
Our Southern States customers are pleased with
the prize-winning blooms they have been able to
produce there.

AIR PARCEL POST

INDEX — Chrysanthemums

COLOR VARIATION: All color descriptions given in
this catalog are somewhat arbitrary. They are observa-
tions made here in San Gabriel, California, when the
plants were grown under normal conditions and taken
during their best period. Undoubtedly, the colors given
would be more intense when cultivated in the cooler
sections of the country, which is evident when an iden-
tical variety is grown in the cool coastal areas only 30
miles away from San Gabriel, while the same variety
may become lighter in color when raised in the desert
areas of California, Arizona, and parts of Texas, where
late summer weather prevails during the Chrysanthe-
mum season. Complete absence of the bronze color from
the variety, ‘Mamoru,’ and the green color from
“Nightingale” is evidence of color bleaching when sub-
jected to prolonged solar heat during the blooming
period.

HEIGHT AND THE BLOOMING DATES: The height
and the blooming dates are also based on observations
made at our Gardens in San Gabriel, where a uniform
cultural pattern is followed for a number of years.
Planting is done between May 15 and June 30 or later
in order of blooming period. The plants are all topped
when they are about 6 inches high and, if necessary,
topped twice. The terminal buds are retained for all
early varieties, and mostly any bud being saved after
September 1. All this is mentioned because the time of
planting largely governs the height of the plant and the
selection of buds has direct bearing on the blooming
date. Height between 2 to 4 feet tall if listed as me-
dium; everything above is tall, and below is short.

CHANGES CAUSED BY DISBUDDING: Frequently
during our Show we are asked, particularly by our new
customers, why their flowers are not true to our catalog
description or similar to our garden specimen plant. In
most instances, the discrepancy is due to non-disbudding.
Only by disbudding are we able to grow large size flowers
as described in our catalog. Also, the round, perfectly
spherical pompons or the prominent cushions centers of
the anemone flowered varieties will not be present when
grown in sprays.

Cascade Standard Varieties

The Cascade varieties are all of exceptional beauty
and exquisite daintiness. While chosen primarily for the
ease with which they may be trained to hang or “cas-
cade” downward, there are numerous ways in which they
may be made to yield equally gratifying results with a
minimum expenditure of time and effort.

Planted in the garden and topped a number of times
in the usual manner, these little-heralded horticultural
phenomena will develop a rugged bushiness of free
flowering growth that for sheer beauty may, perchance,
outrival the much vaunted glory of the larger and more
pretentious of their brethren.

Grown in pots and without special training, they may
be taken care of in the open until such time as it is
desirable to transfer them indoors, where their presence
may lend a bit of sunshine to what otherwise might be a
colorless interior. Let the Fall season of dark shadows
and crispness of air be brightened and warmed by the
comforting cheer irradiating from one or more well-
groomed plants of this type strategically placed on win-
down ledge, bench or table.

Suggestions for Culture of Cascades

PREPARATION OF SOIL. The potting soil is pre-
pared by mixing 2 parts by volume of fibrous loam of
good structure, 2 parts well decayed leaf mold, and 1 part
of manure. In addition, a 5-inch potfull of bonemeal or
superphosphate may be incorporated to every 3 bushels
of mixture. This soil mixture may be prepared in large
quantities and stored in shelter for later use.

FERTILIZER. Twice a month, application of com-
mercial fertilizer (liquid fertilizer preferred) should be
made during the most active growing months for cas-
cades commencing from mid-May up to the formation of
buds. When dry commercial complete fertilizers are used,
it is cautioned not to over-feed a plant, always remem-
bering that light applications frequently made are far
better than over-dosing it at any time.

RE-POTTING. Plants may be put into 6-inch pots
when bought from us. Two or three shiftings into larger
pots are required during the season and these shifts
should be made before plants form their first root net-
work around the inside of their containers. Final re-
potting may be made about the middle of July or there-
eee and size of pots used depends on the size of Cas-
cades.

TYING AND PINCHING. (See drawings and photos
on page 30.) When the plant grows to about 12 inches
tall (Drawing No. 1), it is bent from about the middle
and its end tied to a fairly long No. 12 size wire and is
bent at an angle of 45 degrees (as in Fig. 2). The sup-
porting wire should point north and the leader must be
tied to it with raffia (see Figs. 2 and 3) at least once a
week. All laterals and sub-laterals should be pinched at
every second or third leaf joints as in Fig. 2, and this
operation should be repeated continuously until around
September 15. As the plant increases in width, an addi-
tional support is necessary to prevent toppling over on
one side (see Fig. 4). The main leader is lowered grad-
ually so that it will be in horizontal position around
September 15, as in Fig. B. When buds begin to form,
the main stem starts bending vertically from its hori-
zontal position, with the surface of the plant facing south,
as in picture No. 5.

When buds begin to show color, the pot is placed on
a high position so that the sprays will not touch the
ground and bent to its final vertical position (as in Fig.
C. Also see illustration of “Jane Harte’).

Cultural Suggestions — Commercial and Exhibition Types

SOIL PREPARATION. Chrysanthemum beds should
be prepared early by spading into the ground a liberal
amount of decayed manure. The ground should be spaded
to a depth of 12 to 15 inches. Peat is used if ground is
either too sandy or too heavy.

FERTILIZING. About three applications of complete
fertilizers, such as “Gaviota,” ‘“Vigoro,” etc., should be
made at two to four pounds per 100 square feet. Feeding
should be avoided during periods of extreme heat or
when soil is too dry. The soil is watered before the appli-
cation if necessary. The last application is made when
buds are large enough to make the final selection (Figure
2 below).

STOPPING. When the plant is established in a garden
and has developed two or three pairs of matured leaves,
the center or the main growth is nipped off. From then
on, the plant should be restricted to form about three or
four shoots in order to obtain large blooms. For a late
blooming variety, the main growths of these new shoots
may be nipped off again around July 15 in order to regu-
late the height.

For large pompons and anemones, six to eight stems
are allowed to grow to a plant. Other cultures for these
are similar with those of large flowering varieties.

DISBUDDING. (See drawings below.) Immediately
after new shoots of your selection begin to send out new
laterals, they should be removed very close at the base
(see lowest lateral of Figure 1) at regular intervals of
about once a week. This procedure should be adhered to
religiously in order to obtain successful results.

SELECTION OF BUDS. The first bud produced by
the plant is called the “Crown bud” and is distinguished
by being surrounded with leaves. The “Terminal bud”
appears later in clusters surrounded with flower buds.

The procedure of “taking buds” depends very largely
on the variety, and no fast rule can be given, but we
recommend retention of terminal buds for majority of
early flowering Commercial and Exhibition types, par-
ticularly here in Southern California. The safest rule,
we find, is not to save buds formed before August 20 in
our district. Retention of early formed “Crown buds”
often results with large percentage of crippled flowers,
especially when a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer re-
mains unconsumed by the plant. Furthermore, since the
hottest period of the year usually comes during the
month of September and early October, the hazards of
burnt petals and fading of colors are too frequently ex-
perienced when early crown buds are retained in our
district.

The final selection of a bud should not be made too
hastily nor when it is very small (see Figure 1). It is also
advisable to allow an alternate bud (see Figure 2) to re-
main until one is certain of all defects when final selec-
tion is made (Figure 3).

CONTROL MEASURES FOR INSECTS AND
DISEASES. INSECTS.

1. Leaf tyer. A brown moth emerges at night and
lays white eggs which hatch into white cater-
pillars, but later change into a green color. Con-
trol: DDT.

2. Aphids, leaf miner, and red spider. Controlled
with sprays such as “Vapotone,” “Parathion,” etc.

3. Thrips. Control: DDT.

4. Mealy bugs. Control: White oil emulsion sprays.

5. Tarnished plant bug. A yellowish brown bug with
long probosci used to puncture young shoots. Con-
trol: Handpicking or DDT.

6. Grasshoppers. Control: Dusting with arsenical
compounds.

7. Cutworms. Control: DDT.

8. Slugs, snails, sowbugs and milipeds. Control: Baits.

DISEASES.

1. Rust. Indicated by blisters and exposes dark brown
powder—a mass of spores. Infested leaves should
be removed and burned. Control: Fermate.

2. Mildew. It has white powdery appearance. Con-
trol: Sulphur dust or sprays.

STAKING. Individual stem should be supported with

stake or by other means to hold the blooms upright.

A (Ve

Culture for Bush or Garden Varieties

Under this heading come small Pompons, small Ane-
mones, Singles and Hardy varieties. These varieties are
most effective in the garden when grown low with as
much growth as possible. This effect is easily obtained

by pinching off centers of all laterals three or four times
up to Ist or 10th of August. This method will prevent
plants from toppling too freely.

Large Flowering Exhibition Varieties

Since size is the prime factor in this classi-

largest blooms. Many varieties will grow taller
than the regular commercial varieties requiring
much heavier staking. They also require wider
spacing when planied than other varieties for
proper areation and adequate nutrient require-
ment.

Giant Flower Carnation
Field -Grown ... Hardy Rugged Plants

Cultural Directions for Carnations
Easy to Grow if These Simple Rules Are Followed

PREPARATION OF SOIL. The Carnation will tol-
erate wide range of soil condition and acidity, but it
must have good drainage. The PH if the soil is best
between 6.0 and 7.0. The plant requires plenty of or-
ganic matter, so liberal amounts of well rotted manure
are spaded into the soil. In addition to this, about 5 lbs.
of either bonemeal or superphosphate is required per 100
square feet of ground. If an extreme acid condition is
encountered, a light sprinkling of agricultural lime or
wood ashes would be beneficial.

TREATMENT OF PURCHASED PLANTS. Our plants
come in “Vita-bands”’ as in the illustration. When they
are received, the bands are removed and set out with the
soil around the roots intact. Carnations like full sunlight
and young plants should be spaced about 15 inches apart.
They should be watered thoroughly after planting, but
no further watering is required until the surface shows
signs of drying.

STOPPING. Plants are first topped when they are
three or four inches high. The object of this topping is
to encourage young plants to become bushy around the
base. The best method is to pull out the center with the
right hand while gripping the plant firmly with the left.
More stems will arise by this procedure than when the
top is merely broken off. Centers of new growths are
further topped occasionally until a bushy plant is
assured.

STAKING. Almost simultaneously with the last top-
ping, the plants should be provided with some sort of
support. Individual wire loop supports are most com-
monly used.

DISBUDDING. When buds become sufficiently large,
all side buds are removed, thus leaving a single bud to a
stem.

WATERING. Very wet or very dry soil conditons are
both detrimental to support a vigorous, healthy growth
of Carnations. Although in Winter they will stand being
kept fairly dry much better than on the wet side.

FEEDING. Since the Carnation is an ever-blooming
flower, feeding is a year around procedure after its final

i

topping. Nitrogen stimulates stem and leaf growth; phos-
phoric acid and potash build up sturdy, firm growth of
plants with large flowers, good substance, and good color.
For this reason, application of complete fertilizers is rec-
ommended at the rate of between 2 and 4 pounds per
100 square feet at every two months intervals.

DISEASE CONTROL.
1. Rust. Easily controlled with Fermate, Bordeaux
mixture, or Botano dust.

2. Septoria leafspot causes purple blotches on the
leaves. Same control as for rust.

3. Yellows and Mosaics are virus diseases. Since
aphids spread viruses, they should be controlled.

INSECT CONTROL.
1. Aphids and Red Spider. Controlled with sprays
such as “Vapotone,” etc.
2. Thrips. Causes white spots on flowers and may
cause tips of shoots to stick together. Controlled
with DDT dust or sprays.

Propagation of New Plants

In order to grow Carnations successfully, a person
must start propagating new plants from cuttings some
time or another. Best cuttings are produced about mid-
way on a flowering stem, as indicated (A and B) in the
illustration. The length of the cutting should be about
three to four inches long. The growth (C) is allowed to
grow into a flowering stem.

The procedure of taking slips or cuttings is rather
unique in Carnations. The ones shown in the illustration
are called “heel” cuttings because the shoots are severed
by the “heel” or node of a main stem. The cutting, and
leaf surround it, are held firmly and severed by outward-
downward pull (see first part in the illustration).

TRIMMING OF FOLIAGE. According to pathologists,
the plant food is manufactured in the leaves and trim-
ming reduces the area in which food is manufactured.
Also, essential plant elements must be used to heal any
wound. Furthermore, all wounds will become a source
of infection; therefore, only leaves of the cuttings com-
ing in contact with the rooting media are removed.

ROOTING AIDS. Use Rootone or Hormodin No. 1 ac-
cording to directions. Do not allow cuttings to become
wilted. Submerging in water is one way of refreshing
wilted cuttings.

ROOTING MEDIA. Use either clean medium coarse
sand or “Vermiculite.” The latter is better.

CARE OF CUTTINGS. Take an ordinary plant flat,
fill it with “Vermiculite,” and level it off. Then soak it
with water thoroughly and pound the surface firmly with
a 2x3 piece of board. Make a straight groove about one
inch deep with a small mason’s trowel or flat blade of
some sort. Then place the cuttings about one-half inch
apart. When a row is completed, tap the base of the
cuttings firmly again with the board. Then another
groove is made about three inches away. Thus, an ordi-
nary flat holds about 200 cuttings. They are thoroughly
watered overhead when finished and then shaded for a
while from direct sunlight, but not too heavily. Remem-
ber always that light is necessary for normal function
of a plant. Heavy draft is also detrimental. It dries off
the foliage too much.

It normally takes about four weeks to root a Carna-
tion cutting when the termperature is right. When roots
are about one-half to one inch long, the plants need trans-
planting. Young cuttings are transplanted in “Vita-
Bands,” using regular sandy loam as the potting soil.
No soil mixture is required when “Vita Bands” are em-
ployed, as these bands are chemically treated to nourish
young plants. In about six to eight weeks, the plant is
ready to set out.
